Esthetician
Hi! I’m Leslie. Although I am originally from North Carolina, I began my journey in esthetics in 2005 while working in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. My passion for skincare and helping others feel confident in their own skin inspired me to become an esthetician. I am fascinated by the transformative power of beauty treatments and love providing services that promote relaxation and well-being.
I find the science behind skin health exciting. Understanding different skin types and staying updated on the latest products is rewarding. Being an esthetician allows me to combine artistic expression with scientific knowledge. I cherish the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my clients and support them on their self-care journeys. It brings me immense joy to guide someone toward their skincare goals and to witness their confidence blossom as a result.

I have two beautiful, loving cats, Ava Joan and Jagger Mae, who are quite demanding and keep me on my toes! They are the center of my universe, and I love them beyond words.
